Abstract:
The present invention relates to novel composites that incorporate carbon nanospheres into a polymeric material. The polymeric material can be any polymer or polymerizable material compatible with graphitic materials. The carbon nanospheres are hollow, graphitic nanoparticles. The carbon nanospheres can be manufactured from a carbon precursor using templating catalytic nanoparticles. The unique size, shape, and electrical properties of the carbon nanospheres impart beneficial properties to the composites incorporating these nanomaterials.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a dispersion consisting of a dispersing liquid and at least one solid material which is distributed in the dispersion fluid. The dispersion fluid has an aqueous and/or a non-aqueous base which are formed by at least one solid material made of graphite and/or carbon nanomaterial and/or coke and/or from porous carbon and that the at least one solid material is distributed in an homogenous and stable manner in the dispersion fluid in order to obtain a dispersion having particularly good properties. The invention also relates to a method for producing said type of dispersion such that the dispersion is produced by applying an accelerator voltage. As a result, said type of dispersions can be used many advantageous ways.
